She first caught my eye at last years S.A Fashion Week in Cape Town with her dazzling show which ended off with a magnificent fluffy ball gown worn by a beautiful singer whos head was adorned with branches and twigs and there were these serene flying paper birds hanging everywhere... This image really does the show no justice but to give you an idea:
Now when one hears the name Stefania Morland, one thinks ruffles, feathers, prime beauty and everything gorgeous, lavish and feminine. Her wedding dresses, amongst her other designs, really are a treat for the eye...
And her A/W 2012 campaign encompasses just that. Shot by Kris Roussouw, this shoot hold a romantic, almost dark, allure of soft tonal colours and stunning garments... Again, like most other big fashion labels the colours for her palette tend to lean towards neutrals, blacks and whites of different variation to create tone and shadows within the outfits. Beautiful stuff.
Seeing designers like this and campaigns so beautifully executed as this was makes me totally proud to live in such an amazingly talented and creatively diverse country.
Enjoy!
